Need holster advice

I carry a Shield in an Alien Gear Cloak Tuck 3. My only real gripe is that you have to keep an eye on the hardware.

I think I'm going to pick up an OWB holster for it though. I think I'll be able to conceal it without issue.
 
I just got the Bianchi 57 holster. The leather is definitely stiff and holds tight, so now it comes time to break it in so I can actually draw the Glock.
 
Carrying concealed in a warm climate offers additional challenges. It usually means carrying inside the waste band or perhaps pocket carry. There are far better options for pocket guns than there has ever been, but the guns are still less than ideal; while IWB carry usually left me with the faustian choice of either losening my belt risking having my pants drop, or tighthening the belt which made it that much more difficult to draw the gun. I tried a number of handguns and several times that many holsters before it dawned on me to use suspenders. Now just about all of the combinations work. It was a big help and a major increase in comfort. You may want to look into that.

I have a M&Paul Shield .40 and carry it in a Tagua OWB paddle holster. Picked up a Galco stow and go today but I do not like it so back to Cabelas it will go. I just ordered a Sticky IWB for it, I think I am really going to love it.
 
Alright. The Bianchi holster is very good, especially after the wax paper break in. Unfortunately to take the holster off, you need to take your belt off. Not exactly convenient in certain situations.

I just got a Blackhawk Sportster holster to try as an alternative. Unlike the more expensive Serpa holster, there's no button holding it in place by the trigger guard that could lead to accidental discharges, it's all pure friction. I've got the screw tightened to the point you can flip the holster upside down and shake it, and it'll hold the Glock reliably, but still being easy to draw with a quick tug.
 
Search kydex on ebay and you'll find good makers that are cheap and do the trick. Etsy also has some nice leather stuff, but you are looking at anywhere from 50-500. I bought an Arcadian Craftsman shoulder rig and it is hands down best thing ever. I put my Griffon Ind. stuff away because of it.
 
there is nothing wrong with a Serpa holster. hell even Yeager came out with a video saying that if you're not an idiot you can use a Serpa holster. guns in holsters are pretty safe. when the gun comes out of the holster thats when things get dangerous. putting one back is even more dangerous than taking one out.

I've carried one (serpa) for years never had a problem.
I've read the studies,and watched the videos and what they all have in common is pilot error.
Serpa holsters aren't perfect but they damn sure ain't death traps.good luck with whatever you choose and pay more attention putting it back in the holster than taking the damn thing out.
 
+1 on the DeSantis Nemesis Pocket Holster. The texture makes it grab your pocket and not stay on your pistol. I had an lcp and the DeSantis Nemesis Pocket Holster made it like a wallet in my front pocket.

I use a PJ holsters IWB for my G19. Love it. If I am belt carrying I like the Model 6378 ALS Paddle Holster. Very comfortable and it releases with your thumb not your index finger.
